Selection Devices on the Display Touch Screen Windows

The following sections summarize the controls you use to interact with the printers.

Fingertip Control

When you touch the surface of the Display Touch Screen with your ®nger, a small plus symbol (+) appears directly under your ®nger tip. Moving your ®nger across the surface moves the (+) symbol. Removing your ®nger from the surface of the monitor selects the action or item on which the (+) symbol rests.

Pushbuttons

Pushbuttons look like three-dimensional pushbutton switches. They allow you to select a particular action, which occurs immediately. An ellipsis (...) that follows a pushbutton name means that selecting the pushbutton causes a another procedure window or a pop-up window to appear.

Selectable Field

A selectable ®eld on a procedure window or a pop-up window displays the current setting of an item that you can change. To change the setting, SELECT the ®eld. A pop-up window appears containing one of the following:

vTwo or more choices from which you can select.

vA selection list box with many items from which you can select. See (4) in Figure 9 on page 40 for an example of a pop-up window with a selection list box.

vA keypad or keyboard window in which you can enter a new value.
